spring showers

Spring is almost here - and while we are in the midst of April showers I can't help but get overexcited about coming wardrobe changes (no more down coats and swaths taking place of what could have been a great outfit). It's back to vests, sweaters, blazers and the more-than-occasional trench for me and I couldn't be happier about it.

The best part about having a boyfriend who dresses well is getting to steal his clothes - especially when they have creamy suede moto-jackets from AllSaints. Yum. xo

The snow is finally melting in New York City and the first thing on my mind instead of how many layers I can pile on my body is SUNGLASSES. I am literally in love with these Wildfox sunnies with blue mirrored lenses - they add the perfect pop of color to my usual all-black winter uniform. In the past, I've strictly been a Ray-Ban aviator's type girl but I feel like this spring is going to be the Season of the Sunnies and I couldn't be more excited to expand my spectacle-horizons.

One of my favorite things to do in New York (or any city for that matter) is finding balconies, rooftops, porches, etc to perch up and visit in. To me, there really is nothing better. You get to see the city from a completely different standpoint and environment, and - sometimes - after a long day's work or fighting for your life on the New York City subways during peak hours, it really reminds you why you love the city so much.  Looking up you see a beautiful scape of skyscrapers and older "historied" buildings, all with the most beautiful architectural feel. And looking down you get a view of the New Yorkers and city visitors buzzing around. With Manhattan being so small, you will usually find some sort of views of the rivers, too. It is truly a favorite weekend activity and above is a favorite weekend outfit.

Some of my favorite rooftops, for good measure:
Gallow Green, Chelsea
230 5th, NoMad
Loopy Doopy, Battery Park
The Press Lounge, Hell's Kitchen
Top of the Strand
The Ides, Williamsburg, Brookyln

On my list for this spring:
Lounge at Pod 39
Upstairs

Sheltering Sky, Williamsburg, Brooklyn
